Separation No Anxiety earns its place in the superhive library as a small, single-purpose add-on: it collapses the usual multi-step separate-and-reset routine into one click. If your Blender projects regularly involve breaking multi-piece objects into editable parts, it targets exactly that friction.
Separation No Anxiety is a Blender add-on built around one task: separating loose meshes. With a single click it splits all loose meshes in an object into individual pieces and resets the origin of each one, leaving them ready for editing.
In Blender, breaking apart loose or multi-piece meshes is normally a three-step process that involves moving in and out of edit mode. It also tends to leave a separated piece's origin at zero, which is awkward to work with when the mesh itself sits far from that point. Separation No Anxiety folds the separation and the origin reset into that single click.
The add-on supports Blender versions 3.0 through 4.0, including 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, and is released under the GPL license. It ships with documentation, and a demo video is available. For current licensing and version details, check the developer's page.
Separation No Anxiety is best for blender modelers who frequently break multi-piece or loose-part objects into separate meshes and want each piece's origin reset for editing.
Separation No Anxiety is completely free to download and use.
Separation No Anxiety lists support for Blender versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0, so it covers a wide span of recent Blender releases. If you are on one of those versions, the add-on is intended to run there. For versions outside that range, or to confirm the current compatibility list, check the developer's page. Since the add-on has not been tested against every possible build, the developer's documentation is the best reference before installing on a specific setup.
Separation No Anxiety separates all loose meshes and then resets the origin of each resulting piece, which is meant to make each part easier to edit afterwards. In Blender, breaking apart loose or multi-piece meshes is usually a three-step task that moves you in and out of edit mode and leaves the origin sitting at zero. That can be awkward when a piece is positioned far from the origin. The add-on handles the separation and the origin reset in a single click instead.
Separation No Anxiety is listed as free here in the catalog, so you can add it from this page without a purchase. Marketplace pricing and offers can change over time, so for the current licensing or any purchase terms it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on covers a single, focused task, separating loose meshes and resetting their origins, so there is no tiered or subscription structure described. For the latest details on availability and licensing, the developer's listing is the place to confirm before you rely on it.
Separation No Anxiety is released under the GPL license, according to its listing. If licensing matters for how you plan to use or distribute the add-on, the GPL terms define what is permitted, and the developer's documentation and page are the right places to review the specifics. The add-on also ships with documentation, which can help you understand its behaviour and how to work with the separation and origin-reset function. For the definitive licensing text and any conditions attached, refer to the developer's listing before use in a project.
